Abstract: Vectorization of program code by way of a method that includes obtaining program code to be compiled. The program code has a loop that includes a control-flow having divergent branch conditions. The method includes compiling the program code to produce compiled code. The compiling includes performing compile-time analysis of the loop based on an assumption of dynamic uniformity, and determining from the analysis a vectorizable access pattern of the loop. The compiling also includes vectorizing the loop as part of the compiling the program code, including compiling the loop. The vectorizing includes providing run-time checks in the compiled code. The run-time checks are configured for checking for dynamically uniform conditions for vector processing at run-time to control program execution flow based on a result of the checking. The method also includes outputting the compiled code for execution.

Abstract: Code pattern matching is performed within computer code to determine whether the computer code includes an idiom from a predefined set of idioms. Based on determining that the computer code includes the idiom, a set of data items of the idiom to be analyzed is determined. The set of data items is analyzed with respect to one or more corresponding values from the computer code based on a set of constraints defined for the idiom to determine whether the set of data items satisfy one or more predefined conditions for the idiom. Based on the analyzing indicating that the one or more predefined conditions are satisfied, one or more code segments of the computer code including the idiom are replaced with replacement code to provide revised computer code.

Abstract: Predictive dead store elimination is provided. The method comprises identifying, in a program, a first store operation and a second store operation in a program loop that comprise a store pair with a same loop-invariant base address and determining whether the store pair is a predictive dead store elimination candidate. Responsive to a determination that the store pair is a predictive dead store elimination candidate, the method eliminates the first store operation in each iteration of the program loop, except the last DSRC (dead store recurrence constant) iterations and sinks the first store operation in the last DSRC iterations to after the program loop.

Abstract: A system and method for intelligently detecting a duplicate address attack is described. The system and method comprise transferring a first address conflict check message; receiving a first address conflict check response message; performing intelligent Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) to determine if the duplicate address attack is valid; and if the duplicate address attack is valid, then reporting the duplicate address attack to a monitoring server. An intelligent switch that detects the DAD attack blocks further address conflict check response messages from the attacker's MAC address.

Abstract: A loop within computer code is transformed to minimize loop iterations. A determination is made using statistical information relating to the loop whether the loop that has an early exit indication is to be transformed to minimize iterations of the loop. Based on determining that the loop is to be transformed, the loop is transformed.

Abstract: An asymmetric tetradentate metal complex of a N{circumflex over (?)}C{circumflex over (?)}C{circumflex over (?)}N comprising tetradentate ligand has a metal connected to binding sites which are connected to each other via three or four covalent bonds that can be either single or double bonds with bridging linkers reside between C{circumflex over (?)}C and C{circumflex over (?)}N moieties. These linkers result in three-dimension metal complexes with distorted square planar geometries. The four donor atoms coordinate to a metal center. Upon metal binding a 5-6-6 membered metallocycle is formed upon chelation including a first nitrogen donor bond, a first metal-carbon bond, a second metal-carbon bond, and a second nitrogen donor bond. The light emission from these metal complexes can be tuned by the ligand structure over the entire visible spectrum.
